Скачать или смотреть Bihar Museum Biennale 2021 Conference : The Making of the Bihar Museum

Anjani Kumar Singh, Rahul A. Gore & Anthony Lopez in conversation with Batul Raaj Mehta

The Bihar Museum was built as a world-class cultural institution where the ancient history and heritage of the land intersected with the contemporary, diasporic, and the futuristic within a space of harmony. As we explore the making of the Bihar Museum, we investigate the need and the significance of a public museum in the state of Bihar? What is the role of the Bihar Museum as a freebaser of the cultural soft power of Bihar? Patna, Pataliputra, and Magadha have all been seats of power and of a dynastic heritage the state and the city boasting of sculptural and architectural riches, how does the Bihar Museum maximise the traction given to these artefacts of import through museum engagement? What was the process of the open call for the architecture of the museum? Why was the decision made to give the project to a Japanese architectural firm, were there any overlaps in aesthetical philosophy and approaches?
